Ingredients

  • 8 slices bacon
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup Annie's™ Naturals organic sweet & spicy BBQ sauce

  • Step 
    1
    Heat oven to 400°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with foil; spray foil with cooking spray.

    2
    Microwave bacon between layers of microwavable paper towels on microwavable plate 3 to 4 minutes or just until edges begin to brown but are still soft and pliable. Cut each piece in half crosswise.

    3
    In small bowl, stir together cream cheese and dressing mix.

    Cut pocket in each chicken breast by making a horizontal slit along thin long edge, being careful to not cut through to opposite side. Stuff each pocket with one-fourth of the cream cheese filling (about 2 tablespoons). Press edges of chicken together to seal. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

    Arrange bacon pieces diagonally over tops of chicken breasts, pressing bacon over sides. Brush each with 1 tablespoon barbecue sauce.
